Why AIT Ambulance

The standard you'd want over your own family.

Safety before schedule

Three-to-go, one-to-say-no. Any crew member can turn down a flight without explanation or consequence — and it stays turned down.

Equipment without excuses

Twin-engine IFR aircraft, NVG on every night mission, in-house maintenance, and a clinical cabin stocked like the ICU you came from.

Schedules built for humans

7-on / 7-off for pilots, 24/72 for clinical crews, protected rest, and no mandated holdover. Fatigue is a safety item here, not a rite of passage.

Pay and progression

Top-quartile regional compensation, shift and certification differentials, paid recurrent training, and tuition support for CFRN, FP-C, and ATP upgrades.

Open positions

Three seats on the aircraft. All of them open.
